    Platt is an improvement but that's still a shocking defence. Experienced but slow midfield and Cook will have his work cut out today as Wright half-arses the press every time he plays

    Disagree.

    We have two fit centre backs. Play them both in a back four. Why play people out of position at the back? The team and formation needs to be picked based on the players available.

    Ridehalgh and Okey Cokey shouldn't be anywhere near the team bus never mind on the pitch
    Smallwood and McDonald together a disaster waiting to happen
    Lone furrow in the opposition area again for Cookie
    Pointon on the bench is a very slight improvement
    Looks like we are going for a 0-0

    Totally agree. 4-2-3-1 is the formation to play today, with the players available.

    How long untill Smallwood is dropped? Kev Mac should be his replacement, not playing along side him

    To be honest, it is something that affects the players as well under GA!

    Given the season is over, should be giving opportunities to Pointon, Wilson, Wadsworth & Ibbotson.

    Do we have a good CH in the U19s?

    City are actually starting 4 full/wing backs today in Halliday/Ridehalgh/Richards and Oyegoke,

    No idea how GA gets his reputation for dire defensive football.
